Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 12 6,853, dated May 14,1 8 72.

To all whom it mag concern.-

I Be it known that I, FRANKLIN B. WALLIN,

of Saugatuck, in the county of Allegan and State of Michigan, haveinvented a new and Improved Baling-Press; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had. to the accompanyingdrawing making part of this specification, in which Figure 1, Plate 1,isan elevation of one side of the press. Fig. 2, Plate 1, is a top viewof te 2, is a perspective view of the press. Fig. 4, Plate 2, is asectional view of the press.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

This invention relates to improvementson presses for baling hair, hay,cotton, and other will hereinafter explain. wing description of myinvention others skilled in the art to under- The follo will enablestand it.

' In the accompanying drawing, I have represented the press-box Aconstructed on one end of a long beam, 0, which latter ,may be supportedupon blocks in an inclined position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The beam0 forms box, and is slotted, as at P, for allowing free escape of dustand trash through this bottom. This press-box A is provided with ahinged top, a, and a hinged door, a. The ends of the straps Z) on thedoor a are received intoslots which are made through the upper ends ofvertical straps I), through which ends a bar, a, is passed, thatsecurely fastens thedoors a adown in place. By removing bar a the twodoors can be opened for filling the press or removing a bale. Brepresents the follower or pressing-head, which is supported upon thebeam. 0 by means of rollers 19 p, and which has a number of grooves madeverworks in the pressbox. The inner side of the head of the pressboxisalso grooved to correspond to the grooves in the follower. At the upperend of each groove in the head of the press-box is a pin, w, which, whenthe door a is shut, is received 20 serve as means for retaining the endsof the baling-cords in place during the operation of pressing, afterwhich the cords are secured head or foll around thebale. These cords areunwound from an elevated reel, J, which has its end bearings instandards G Grisingfrorn the sides ofthepressbox at its open end.Beneath the reel J, and pivoted to the standards G G, is aclamp, m, anda rigid bar, v, between which the c By adjusting the beveled--edge ofupon the cords cro'ssingthe barn these cords will be firmly griped andheld, as shown in Fig. 4. A lever, D, is pivoted to the follower B; atone end it is jointed to a lever, E, which latter is pivoted to a block,a, fast on the beam 0. These two levers form toggles which move in avertical plane, and are guided between two standards, N, which riseperpendicularly from the beam 0. Beneath the toggle-levers, andsupported by standards ff, is a Windlass, F having crank-handlesff thisWindlass F is wound arranged as follows: One attached to an eye,

the clamp on 7 on its ends. Around a rope, g, which is end of the rope gis t, which is fixed into the lever E; it is thence carried down andpassed beneath a pulley, '0; thence over a pulley r,- thence around theWindlass F; thence around pulleys sf finally, the rope is secured at 2to one of the standards .N, above the pulley s.

It will thus be seen that one end of the rope is secured fast to thelever E, and after passing around four pulleys and the Windlass, theother end of the rope is secured to. one of the standards N,'near. itsupper end. I am thus enabled to apply great force to the pressingowerfor compressing the material in the press-box. I am also enabled to movethe follower up to and from its work by turning the Windlass in oppositedirections.

To operate the press, the Windlass is turned so as to draw the followernearly out of the press-box, as shown in Fig. 4. The cords are thencarried across and fastened to the pins w, and after they are adjustedinto their respective grooves and slots, the material to be baled ispacked into the press-box, and the doors securely fastened by the bar 0.After pressing the material as much as desired, and before the pressureis removed, the door a is raised and the cords i fastened around thebale and separated from the reel. The pressure is then removedby'retractin door (1/ opened, and the bal press-box.
